Synopsis
This guide takes the reader on an illustrated journey into the sub-atomic world discovered by physicists over the past century. The authors describe the fundamental discoveries and the developments in equipment which have led to our current understanding of the nature of matter in the universe and the forces which govern its behaviour. Non-technical portraits of all major sub-atomic particles are given, from the electron, proton and neutron, through to quarks and muons.
